Application August 5, 1937, Serial No. 157,549 6 Claims. (01. 156-14) The present invention relates to a window glass block structure, similar to that of my coscreen, and more particularly to a window screen pending application, Serial No. 157,548 for a cloadapted for use with a pivoted closure member sure member which is pivotally mounted in an of the flush mounting type, such as is illustrated opening 2. The edges of the blocks 2 on each and described in my pending application, Serial side of the opening have a flange 3 extending No. 157,548, filed simultaneously herewith. inwardly and having the inner faces 4 thereof 7 .In a frameless type of window structure, such arcuately curved on an arc concentric with edges as that illustrated and described in the above ap- 5 and 6 of the closure member I.

From the outer closure member witha portion of the screen frame end of the portion 1 I, the metal strip 10 is bent being positioned to be engaged by'a closure ele downwardly in a curve as at 13. From the lower ment to provide a substantially weather tight e of the Curved po the eta S again 2 seal between the closure member and the adjoinbent outwardly in the form of curve l4, adapted ed to have clip engagement ith b d proessential to the invention. The flanges l8 and vided on the structure surrounding an opening l9 (see Fi s 2 and 4) are not curved as are adapted to receive said frame; said frame havthe s flanges ut t d st a ght inwa d ing a second portion spaced inwardly from said perpendicular o the p a f t e Sc een Cloth flange portion which is adapted to have resilient and are inserted between a glass wa block 35 sealing engagement with a closure member 22 a a eelk Sill p 2 mounted in said opening.

The structure has the adline 4--4 of Figure 1. vantage of providing a weather tight seal across Referring to the drawing in detail a wall I is of the joint between the window opening and the 55 window which provides an effective seal against draft and the loss of heat through the joint. The side clip portions l6 should be free from the flanges I 8 and I9 at the top and bottom of the screen frame, respectively, to permit free inward displacement of the clip portions I6 when mounting the screen in a window opening.

I claim:

1. A window screen for mounting in a window opening having a bead on the inner side thereof; and having a window mounted therein comprising a frame, a spring clip member mounted to have clip engagement with a bead on a window opening and having a sealing portion spaced from said clip portion and resiliently mounted with respect to said clip portion, said sealing portion being positioned to be engaged by a window mounted in said window opening on closing said window, the space between said clip member and said sealing member being joined by a nonpermeable element to provide a weather-tight seal between said head and said window with said window in a closed position.

2. A window screen for mounting in a window opening having a bead on the inner side thereof and having a window mounted therein; comprising a frame having a spring clip member mounted to have clip engagement with a bead on a window opening.

3. A window screen for mounting in a window opening having a window pivotally mounted therein; comprising a frame, securing means mounted to hold said frame in close engagement with an area surrounding a window opening, a

* resiliently mounted strip carried by said frame and positioned to be engaged by a window on closing said window, the space between said frame and said strip being closed to provide a weather tight seal between said window and said window opening.

4. A window screen for mounting in a window opening having a window mounted therein; comprising a frame securing means mounted to hold said frame in close engagement with an area surrounding a window opening, a resiliently mounted strip carried by said frame and positioned to be engaged by a window on closing said window, the space between said frame and said strip being closed to provide a weather tight seal between said window and said window opening.

5. A window screen for mounting in a window opening having a window pivotally mounted therein; comprising a frame, securing means mounted to hold said frame in close engagement with an area surrounding a window opening, a resiliently mounted strip carried by said frame and positioned to be engaged by a window on closing said window, the space between said frame and said strip being filled with a compressible nonpermeable substance to provide a weather tight seal between said window and said window openmg.

6. A window screen for mounting in a frameless window opening having a bead on the inner side thereof and having a window pivotally mounted therein; comprising a frame, a spring clip member mounted on said frame to have clip engagement with a bead on said window opening, said frame being formed of a channel of sheet metal continuous throughout its width and having a sealing portion spaced from said clip portion to be engaged by a window pivotally mounted in said window opening to provide a weather tight seal between said bead and said window with said window in a closed position.
